A. Oldfather et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This monograph revisits and critiques the well-established narratives surrounding the significant Roman defeat at the Battle of Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D. It seeks to offer a new interpretation of the events leading to this battle and its implications for Augustus's policies towards the Germanic tribes. The opening of the work introduces the authors' motivations and perspectives on the historical narrative surrounding the defeat of Varus, emphasizing their dissatisfaction with traditional interpretations. They outline their objectives and methodology, reiterating the influences of past scholarship on the current understanding of the conflict. They express intent to analyze historical sources critically, revealing inconsistencies and biases in the accounts from ancient historians, and aim to establish that Augustus’s actual intentions with respect to Germanic conquest were more nuanced than commonly perceived. Overall, it sets up a detailed study focused on unraveling the complexities of Roman-Germanic relations and the long-term consequences of Varus's defeat. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
